Artificial intelligence has transformed the way we work, but could the next computing revolution come from biology instead?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores the groundbreaking field of biological computing with Dr Chong Hon Weng, Founder and CEO of Cortical Labs.

Discover how lab-grown human neurons are being fused with silicon chips to create computers that learn in fundamentally different ways from today's AI.

We explore why Singapore is home to the country's first Biological Data Centre, how this technology could accelerate drug discovery for neurological diseases, dramatically reduce AI's energy consumption, and reshape robotics, cybersecurity and healthcare.

Finally, Dr Chong tackles the ethical questions surrounding the use of living human brain cells and shares his vision for the future of intelligence itself.
